The couple met 20 years ago at a Steelers pre-game gathering at the Norseman Pub in Dublin, where the team was to play an exhibition game. She accepted his invitation to the game and they kept in touch for years after that first date, but life took them in different directions. After they reconnected in early 2017, Michael proposed to Erin in Pittsburgh, on the Steelers’ home field, in November.

After a reception at the Beach Club, the couple left on a honeymoon trip to Naples.
